because I haven't got any clue. Literally no ideas at all.....and people are going to ask me what I'd like, and I'm just going to sound like an idiot saying, "I don't really want/need anything" just like I do every year.

So please tell me what you want so I can pass it off as my own opinion....

New camera lenses for my DSLR and an epilator!

Do the Gaskell lovers also love G. Eliot's Middlemarch? That's one of my all time favourite classics - with the bonus of being 0p on the Kindle! Though I have it in print, rather dog eared now.

I've always loved Cranford - first read in school Eng lit when I was about 14.

I'm really sad to hear you want a new wig.
Are they extremely expensive? Have you got one at the minute? Can we help you buy one?
You are brave to share this story with us @MrsFoxPlus4

I want a ruby ring.

I don't like new jewellery on principle and have small hands so I know my husband will struggle.

I got a Rolex last Christmas which was a complete shock and I adore it.

A small Louis Vuitton handbag
A snow suit instead of salopette because I'm very small and I look frumpy in salopettes and a coat.

A bath in the back garden
Tickets to go see my best friend in California.

Don't know if I'll get any of that this year!!

KurriKurri · 25/11/2017 13:42

I want this book

But I think the (grown up) children are clubbing together to get me a sat nav because I keep getting lost Grin

Hippadippadation · 25/11/2017 14:52

Slippers
Upgraded coffee machine
Upgraded fitness watch
New jewellery box as mine has literally fallen apart

carrie74 · 25/11/2017 16:36

On my list (birthday and Christmas):

New kindle (lost mine on summer holiday Blush)
New trainers
AirPod headphones possibly
Mac lipstick
L'Occitane Shea butter hand cream (lasts ages and instantly sorts out my hands when they get dry, cracking and eczema-y)
L'Occitane perfume (although they no longer have the ones I wear everyday, so need to go on a sniffing mission)
Running socks

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 25/11/2017 17:22

very exciting to me update!!!!

Two small bags from Sweaty Betty delivered today to DH!!
I think the email link, text hint and leaving the catalogue on his desk may have worked... Grin
subtlety is lost on him....

The only thing I could come up with when my mum asked was a new deck of tarot cards as my other decks were handled by my abusive ex. I hate anyone buying clothes for me or cosmetics (apart from my daughter)

fatimashortbread · 25/11/2017 18:54

I tend to like experiences rather than stuff so have had tickets to concerts, sporting events, a night out at a beer festival with DH etc

Howyoualldoworkme · 25/11/2017 19:20

I'd like a new compact coffee machine as my old one is huge.
And a grabby stick thing to pick things up off the floor when my arthritis is bad
Now I want cashmere wrist warmers as well! Grin

I asked for a peter kay ticket (which I know I have got)😁😁😁. I had also asked for a bottle of chanel allure and the U.S Office complete box set, but I am happy with just the Peter Kay ticket tbh. (Tried every time he has toured and never managed to get one before)

WoolyMammyoth · 25/11/2017 19:40
  • A new pair of decent sewing scissors
  • My family to look after the baby for long enough for me to have a good long soak with a book in my DM's amazing bath (and the baby to cooperate with this plan!)
  • A good book (for above)

That'll do me :D

Mummadeeze · 25/11/2017 19:55

My Mum has just bought me the LookFantastic advent calendar which means I will be getting a little present every day in December! Am v excited! I also want a hard back lovely book about Disney as I am a fan. And a hot stone massage would be nice.
